The line equation is .

First find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.

                           (Substitute 0 for y)

                                        (Simplify)

The x-intercept is 4.So plot the point x-axis at (4, 0)

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.

                                (Substitute 0 for x)

                                   (Simplify)

                          (Divide each side by negative 2)

                                     (Simplify)

The y-intercept is .So plot the point y-axis at (0, )

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

\
• Draw a coordinate plane.
\
• Plot the points (4, 0) and (0, )
\
• Draw a line through these points.
